Just a heads up..we've rented three bedroom apartments in Paris twice but they cost a lot more than $400.

That is mostly what I am seeing as well, HT. Oh well....

We used a fairly expensive agency but we were shaing with another couple..www.justfrance.com

We booked an apartment right across from the Louvre. They have a number of room configurations that they can connect or not depending on how much space you need. We had 11 people in our two families and they gave us 3 bedrooms/ 3 bathrooms with 2 small kitchens. It could sleep a max of 12 people in those 3 rooms. It was a quirky place but it worked out fine for us as the location was so good. One block to the Seine, metro stop across the street, very central. The rate in 2008 was 1980 euros/week for all the rooms. The address was 10 rue Bailleul which was just off of Rivoli. You can find the booking through www.villa4vacation.com propery # 439168. Let me know if you decide to book and have any other questions.

Take a look at this: http://www.parisrentaparts.com/ I rented their 3-bedroom Beaux-Arts apartment a few years ago and was happy with it. Unfortunately it is not available for your time period but they have a couple of others that are.

Although we rented for a week, it appears from their availability calendars that they do rent for less than a week.

We have rented this 3bedroom apartment and will be there in 2weeks.

It looks like they may have an opening the first week of June.

Looks fine. I would take the phrase "easily accessible by an elevator" with a slight grain of salt. Elevators in many of the places we have stayed are so small that taking up the luggage involves one person going up to unload the bags while another person stays on the ground floor to load them, but it all works well.

Ltr, thank you it looks perfect and I guess I wasn't looking in Arr 1. There is no map, so I cannot tell exactly where it is. Can you help?

It is on Via Villedo,just a block west of Theatre du Royal Palais. The two metros close by would be Pyramides or Palais Royal/Musee de Louvre.

Ackislander, I have been in some tiny elevators. We are packing light...or as light as possible traveling with a one year old. It helps there is a washer and dryer in the apartment.

Here's one. Not too fancy, but fits the other bills:

Good company to work with. Used them twice ourselves.
